About the artist

Meet Nathalie Ayesha Tappin, a multifaceted creative talent originally from Barbados but raised in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, where her mother ran an art gallery. Her early exposure to the art world ignited her passion for creativity.

Nathalie's educational journey led her through Creative Communication studies in Rotterdam, a short period at the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, and a Graphic Design course at MK24, also in Amsterdam.

Her career took her into advertising, but her true ambition was always to become a full-time artist. She diligently pursues this dream and cultivates her signature style and artistic language.

Nathalie's art encompasses various media, including acrylic, watercolor, markers, pencils, and unconventional materials like old magazines and worn jeans. She finds inspiration everywhere, from the most unexpected sources, and color is a central element in her creative process.

The iconic faces in her artwork have been with her since childhood, serving as symbolic figures that flow effortlessly from her imagination. Sometimes she combines these characters with thought-provoking text, offering viewers a stimulating challenge with concise, impactful statements that resonate with her own experiences and emotions. Her creations are a true reflection of her inner world, often surprising even herself, and serving as windows into her subconscious.

Nathalie describes her work as colorful, playful, and authentic, operating intuitively, seeing herself as an observer in the artistic process. While her pieces may appear chaotic, they are creatively organized. She enjoys using vibrant colors to convey her positive energy while simultaneously revealing deeper layers of herself. This duality invites viewers to interpret and connect with her art in their own unique way, encouraging them to unleash their imaginations.
